  • Hey hey hey hey
    Hey hey hey hey
    Hey hey hey hey
    Hey hey hey hey

    I wear my clothes like this because I can
    I wear my hair like this because I can
    I walk around like this because I can
    And I do my thing like 'cause this who I am (this who I am)
    If you are expecting me to give you an apology
    For being nothing that you used to, used to
    Well go on right ahead and wait
    Hold your breath and concentrate
    Keep holding till your face turns blue

    My road, it ain't your road but trust I know just where I am going
    My flow it ain't your flow, but trust I know, I know just how I'm flowing
    I’ma do my thing
    I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing
    Please feel free to hate and complain
    Said I'm a do my thing
    I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing
    Say what you want cause this one ain't gonna change
    I’ma do my thing
    Ha ha ha ha ha ha

    I can't wear my clothes like you, because I'm not
    I can't do my hair like you, because I'm not
    I can't walk around like you, because I'm not
    I can't do my thing like you, well that just ain't hot
    And If you are expecting me to give you an apology
    For being nothing like you used to used to
    Well go on right ahead and wait
    Hold your breath and concentrate
    Keep holding till your face turns blue

    My road, it ain't your road, but trust I know, I just where I'm going
    My flow it ain't your flow, but trust I know, I just how I'm flowing
    I’ma do my thing
    I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing
    Please feel free to hate and complain
    Cause I'm a do my thing
    I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing
    Say what you like cause this one ain't gonna change
    I’ma do my thing

    You don't know where I am going, and so you think I am lost
    I ain't on your page, OK so to you that means I'm off
    When I dance, I dance to the beat of a drummer you don't hear and you can't see
    So if I look off beat to you, well the problem must be you not me
    Irregular but never irrelevant, unusual but never uncool
    You're not cut from my clothes
    You never get me, or I don't get you
    Either A believer of the fact
    That unique equals love
    So if I'm going to fast for you
    Open your mind and speed off

    My road, it ain't your road, but trust I know just where I'm going
    My flow it ain't your flow, but trust I know, just how I'm flowing
    I’ma do my thing
    I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing
    Please feel free to hate and complain
    I'ma do my thing
    I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing
    And say what you want cause this one ain't gonna change
    I'ma do my thing Writer/s: MIYKAL SNODDY, SHAFFER SMITH, TYJILLA REYNOLDS, WARREN KURTISS
